Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In Episode 102, Richard whispers with Rafe about the king’s double-dealing, saying ‘the king’s so double in this.’ In Episode 103, Richard directly confronts the king’s hypocrisy when Cromwell reveals Henry’s private desire for Mary Boleyn and his fear of touching Anne, a concrete example of the duplicity he earlier intuited."
